>> i think pakistan no longer sees u.s. relations with india and pakistan. we are quite happy pakistan has a good relationship with the united states and we are equally pleased indeed that is developing a close and important strategic partnership with the united states. as far as president obama's visit to india is concerned, we appreciate that visit as offering an opportunity for bringing greater stability in the region and friendship and the united states and india is not something we look upon with any sense of worry. all we would like this for our relationship to be stable as well. what president obama said in india about the u.n. permanent security council permanent membership is something that we do not agree with. but then even reform is something that is a complex process and we feel that complex process has yet to play itself out. the united states also committed itself to a permanent seat for japan several years ago. japan is now nowhere near getting that seat so this is not something we think is going to reflect in any way on the u.s.-pakistan rel

of pakistan. i don't know if that is still true i haven't looked at the numbers recently but i suspect in this regard that china is moving ahead. i'm not sure -- i don't think it offers much leverage in a negative sense and i don't think there is anything that we would want to do to reduce our exports to pakistan and we don't report much pakistan. in a positive sense, of course, there is a huge potential incentive for pakistan in that it's a textile producing country and if it were able to import it textiles into the united states under more favorable terms that would be a big boon to the pakistani economy. frankly, my sense is first, no one is thinking about carrots right now. and second, trade deals in and of themselves, while i leave it to the collective sense of the audience whether this administration will pursue trade deals and especially free-trade deals. potentially, you know, it is interesting but i don't see it as something that has a real immediate opportunity. >> just to be quick. two

pakistan. and what came out of that was a collection of scholarly essays called the bellagio papers, and i believe you have a handout outside, a brief rundown on this project. the project really looked at this idea of where pakistan is headed and what kind of variables we need to worry about as we look into the future. the project involved conducting research and economic activities on pakistan, but once we had the findings from the project, steve and i got talking about the subject a bit more, and we thought that there was a need to initiate or systematic research-driven debate on the medium to long-term future of pakistan, and that's what has brought us here today. we're going to cover three aspects through the afternoon. the first panel is going to look at the variables and factors which will be key in determining what direction pakistan take. the second one, panelists will talk about various potential futures of pakistan, and the third one will hone in on the policy implications, both for t

pakistan and east pakistan. the country suffered from an identity crisis from its inception. pack pakistan's location brought the country under the folds of the u.s. cold war umbrella, but rather than putting them at an advantage, we had the embrace of freezing afghanistan and pakistan into a special military relationship that discouraged the nation's demockization and development while at the same time encouraging a radical pan islamic movement threatening to tear afghanistan and pakistan apart. the current afghanistan-pakistan crisis is traced back to the 19th century when the british led army forced the petition of afghanistan into north and south. the drawing of the line by england's foreign secretary for india in 1893 was intended to guarantee british control of the territory east of the hindu kush, but proved to be political prison until the creation of the state of pakistan in 1947. pakistan's humiliating defeat in its 1971 war against east pakistan continues to hant the predominantly panjabis development

pakistan relationship. we talked a lot about afghanistan today. but i think as we have heard already, you eluded to the hearings going on in the caucus which i'm sure you have been following closely. we have seen some strong words from both sides in recent days. washington, members of congress on both sides f of the aisle called for a reassessment of the pakistan ties and putting some e questioning of the status as a major non-nato ally and said in an interview the u.s. and pakistan have had, quote, a terrible relationship over the past two decades. i have to say i do not envy your job these days in the current environments. but given the frustration on those sides, where do you see the relationship headed and where would you say the most constructive areau to focus are in those clauses on the horizon? >> i think the beauty of the relationship there never is a dull moment. coming back to what they asked earlier. first of all, we do not use the telephone call as a measure of the relationship stand and that s
